World Day for Safety and Health at Work With World Day for Safety and Health at Work on the horizon this April 28th, it’s time to spotlight how asset management is pivotal to this year's theme—mitigating the impacts of climate change on occupational safety and health. The changing climate isn’t just reshaping our environment, it’s transforming how we work. From scorching heatwaves and air quality challenges to unprecedented industrial hazards and weather events, workers are facing new safety risks every day. But here’s the good news: robust asset management can be our ally. By effectively managing our resources, we can fortify our workplaces against climate threats. Properly maintained equipment keeps workers safe in extreme conditions, while sustainable resource use can reduce the harmful emissions that fuel climate change. So, as we approach #WorldDayforSafetyandHealthatWork, let’s invest in asset management strategies that protect our planet AND our people. Because when we care for our resources, we're also caring for our workers’ safety in a changing world.
